Do you have time for lunch?

One of the best ways that I have found to learn about real estate investing has always been to have lunch with other investors and pick their brains. I was very fortunate to be involved in real estate as a realtor, because it allowed more access to investors. Most people dont have the time or energy to track down top investors in the area.

I have put together a 40 minute “Lunch with me” where I cover all of the basics of wholesaling and share several strategies that I use that most investors dont have a clue about things such as:

Assigning HUD homes

How to use ebay to save big money on rehabs

How to sell buyers like you do houses

How to build a 30 person buyers list without spending a penny on advertising

How to increase response on your direct mail by 500%

What ads I use to generate 10,000% returns on my money

These are just a few of the topics covered in the 40 minute lunch.

Plus if you dont like the material I will give your money back and pay you for the hastle.

The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

I just started reading this book around 5 am this morning and I felt inspired to share some of the thoughts that the book covers for those of you who may not take the time to read.

The book is about a big lawyer who suffers a heart attack. After the heart attack the lawyer sells all of his prize pocessions and travels to the Himalayas to study with the monks and perhaps find the true meaning of his life.

3 years later the once obese, rapid aging man returns a trim healthy, sound from within man. He has come back to share his learnings with a man at the office which he had left.

Thus far the lessons focus on thougts and taking control of your mind.

“The mind is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master”- I really enjoy this thought, it is a subtle reminder that we control our thoughts, I have many times fallen victim to the idea that my thoughts are “reality”. Sure thoughts may seem real, but thoughts are self created, and with a properly trained mind, thoughts can create positive out of any situation whether good or bad.

“Things are alway created twice, first in the workshop of the mind, and then, and only then in reality”. We have all been guilty of not taking the time to dream as we once did when we were children. Remember when your mind new with certainty that you could grow up to be whatever you wanted to be. When, and why did we all stop dreaming like this. When is the last time you dreamed of what you wanted out of life? Who made these rules that as adults we cant dream anymore? Without dreams, it is nearly impossible to get where you want to go in life. Why? Because you cant get where you want to go, if you dont know where your going.

I found this very fascinating that the average human thinks 64,000 thoughts a day, the fascinating thing is most of those thoughts are the exact same ones that they had the day before. Are your thoughts the same from day to day? Same worries, same anger, same stress, same self hatred, these type of thoughts are usually rooted in the past, which cannot change.

If you are having the same bad thoughts everyday, you need to stop borrowing from the present to pay for the past. Start dreaming, start noticing all of the little miracles that happen every instant of everday, those are the types of thoughts that will foster greatness in the future.
